Map a Secure WebFolder to your digitalbucket.net account using WebDAV. No software installation, since WebDAV is built into most operating systems. Using this feature, you can Open, Edit and Save remote files directly from your applications. Also Copy/Paste or Drag-n-Drop files and folders between your local computer and your digitalbucket.net account.

One of our loyal customers brought up an issue with our WebDAV support that held us back releasing this feature. We are expecting to provide a fix by December 19th. We are sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused.

We are working hard to meet our release deadline on Nov. 13th. November was pretty busy development month for our team as we worked closely with our customers to fulfill their requirements. We've also had a record number of new customers joining us during the month of November.

Here are the new upcoming exciting features...

• 1- File Version history support. An intuitive way of keep track of file changes.
• 2- WebDAV support
• 3- Google Chrome browser support. This browser is extremely fast. You've got to try it to see the difference.
• 4- New updates for Mac users. We fixed advanced upload issue for Mac users.
• 5- Video Playback support for all the operating systems and browsers.
• 6- And lots of minor stuff

We are also changing our pricing schema and plan structures. After this release we no longer offer Lite accounts. Current Lite account customers will still continue with their subscription. We are also changing the Individual and Business plans and adding a new plan called Enterprise.

Please stay tuned as we complete our long list of tasks next week.

Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) enables users of many desktop applications to seamlessly interface those applications with digitalbucket.net online solutions. This will enable all content collaborates in the enterprise to access the full benefits of digitalbucket.net. Support for WebDAV is a key addition to our feature rich solution.

This feature will allow users to access their files right from Windows Explorer, Mac OS X Finder or from Linux.

Another example is to use Synchronization tools like Microsoft SyncToy or GoodSync to keep your local and remote drives in sync. Please stay tuned until we complete our final tests.

We are excited that Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) finally is going to offer the ability to run Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server starting later this Fall.

This is absolutely great news for us at digitalbucket.net. We have been asking AWS team about Windows on EC2 since we started this business almost 2 years ago. EC2 offers variety of Unix-based operating systems which is not an option for us to use.

AWS competitors have been promising they’d be coming out for years now and I’m shocked they’ve given Amazon this much runway. Now, we’re extremely happy with Amazon, so we have no plans to switch, but competition is good for everyone - and Amazon is a fierce competitor.

With this new EC2 offering we definitely going to plan to migrate our hosted servers to the cloud computing and be more fierce competitor. That will translate even higher scalability, reliability and of course lower prices for our customers. Stay tuned.
